In the Boston area DooWop is not just black singers. How about Dio & The Belmonts. We called there music SDooWop but always list it as Rock&Roll. The Stereos song here would be listed as R&B along with the Coasters, Drifters etc. Even if you go to a record store today if you can find such a thing you will find several kinds of musical catagorieas like Pop. C&W, R&B, Rap/Hip Hop, Classical and so on. So don't say that music doesn't have catagorie or barriers. Theres white&black in all music
@excelsior544------"sub genres"? Man, give me a break. This is Rock & Roll in its purest form. Don't start using nonsense names like "doo wop" and sub genre. We would have looked at you like you wuz from Mars in the 50's and 60's. This is Rock & Roll. Beach Boys, Little Anthony and The Imperials, Paul Anka, Dion & The Belmonts, Neil Sedaka, etc., all Rock & Roll. Period.
GREAT, GREAT sound from '61that was nationally #29 I think, but in the 'burg', was in the top 10. Great doo-wop. It wasn't a "moron" who labeled this music doo-wop. As many of the black groups were accapella, and "do - do - do", I mean listen to the running vocal bass line! In record stores in '60's - well in Pittsburgh anyway, there weren't listings for "race music", it was labeled RNR. Anyhoo, didn't have a copy of this on XCFT - but bought on EBay. Thanks for posting.
Doo Wop? What's that? This is Rock & Roll!!!! When we bought these records, we went to the ROCK & ROLL section. There was nothing called "Doo Wop" until some moron in the early 70's started calling it "Doo Wop." Rock & Roll Forever.
Brilliant song, very cheery and upbeat. I'm 16, and love this kind of music. This is definately a different form of doo wop than a lot of other songs in the genre, but it's still really nice and fun to listen to.
These guys were from Steubenville, Ohio. I watched them on NINE TEEN TIME, which was a local dance party on WSTV-Channel 9. I was and still am a huge fan of the group. The beginning of this particular song was copied by Motown with the release of "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes.
I remeber being vexed by this record when I found it. Couldn't quite figure out why, but I played it over and over again. There are some hard harmonies in this tune, but The Stereos pull it off without a hitch! Thanks!
Thanks for finding these numbers. Originally being from Steubenville, Ohio I remember hearing their stuff and have played Stereo Freeze with another local band.
Heard this at work today, and it's been stuck in my head all day and night!!! I find myself constantly humming it and tapping my fingers and hands to the catchy beat! Great song, I love it!!!! =)
I've waited a long time to hear this.Mainly because I heard that this was what lead the beatles to do that Doo Wah Doo riff on "Do you want to know a secret"
at the hops in the Pittsburgh area around 1962 - I believe. I also think that the Stereos were from the Pittsburgh area -which would certainly include Stubenville. I can still see the kids kickin' up the dust from the gym floor dancing to those foot stompin' tunes. Some of them got really carried away. Thanks for posting it.
Ahhh; this was the FIRST 45 I ever bought as a teenager. I actually still haveit. How nice to see it posted. Oh wow. I remember the tune 'Foot Stompin' too...brings back memories; sock hops, etc. Sighhh
This was oneof a brief flurry of foot-stomp records in the early 60's, and, with its great bass line and neat vocal interplay, is by far the best- very underrated!
